Long Tail vs. Focus

Thursday, September 11, 2008

A friend of mine asked me a question a few days that keeps rattling around in my brain.  I’ve talked on this blog and at the First Class Lounge Forum at TaxLoopholes about my million dollar mistake.  Basically, I got caught up in the glamour of writing a book and doing interviews, that I let [...]

Wednesday, September 3, 2008

We’ve had this conversation a few times as an aside at the TaxLoopholes First Class Lounge Forum.  I think it’s worth another reminder because I just saw a site make this fatal mistake. Don’t forget to renew your domain names!  I buy names and hold on to them for the “some day” future of creating websites [...]

Having a Plan B

Tuesday, September 2, 2008

5 Comments

Part of having a successful business means being able to always have a Plan B ready to go.  I think we may be on to Plan D already after last week. A big part of the BusinessToInvestment challenge is the websites.  And that means I rely heavily on Jorge’s crew at LatAmConnect.  Last week, Jorge was [...]

Following the Trail Before Me

Multiply Your Online Sales by 100 Times or More This Year I guess I’m on the theme of “trail” right now.  One of my best strategies has been to find people who are really successful at something and then figure out what they did.   Thanks to luckystar at TaxLoopholes’s First Class Lounge Forum, I found a book [...]

Remember to Moderate Comments

Monday, August 18, 2008

4 Comments

I have just a couple of sites that I keep watch on, but I find that someone with moderator control needs to be regularly checking.   At the TaxLoopholes First Class Lounge Forum, largely because it’s a subscription based model, there isn’t that much moderation needed.  We don’t get hit with the spammers.  I did have [...]

I was exchanging emails yesterday with RobF, an active contributor at the TaxLoopholes.com First Class Lounge forum.  Rob is a copy writer (the guys who write sales letters and get paid $10,000+/letter) who turned into an affiliate marketer.  He constantly wows us over at the forum with all the knowledge he has about buying traffic [...]

I did a lot of investigation and finally jumped into an direct sale program.  If you’ve read my other posts, this one made sense to me for the following reasons: (1)   It sold something that people already needed.  I didn’t need to talk anyone into it. ANSWER:  Almost everyone sends cards.  And if you’re a business [...]

Only One Million?

I’ve been speaking at seminars now for over 10 years.  I started doing my own about 8 years ago.  They are a great way to meet, network and reconnect with your clients and prospective clients.  But, wow, do they take a lot of energy!  Generally, I don’t get much else done the week before an [...]

The Return of Respect to the Internet

Sunday, July 13, 2008

8 Comments

I’ve been watching, and participating, in forums for about 7 years now.  I’ve seen a number of them degenerate into name-calling, trolling, and just general nasty behavior.  It seems that left alone the Internet helps foster an atmosphere that is just plain mean.  Every closet bully gets the opportunity to hurt others.  It’s also a [...]

Remember back in the old days when a website was a website?  I was listening to a pod cast (who knew what that was 5 years ago?) about Internet Marketing strategies this morning.  The good news was not only did I understand every single word he said, I thought his material was basic.  That’s progress [...]
